​FLYERS OUTPLAY SHARKS, BUT FALL IN OVERTIME 1-0

The Flyers would have won the game if it was like boxing, where after 60 minutes, it'd go to three judges. We would have won by unanimous decision. But that's not how hockey works. Melker Karlsson beat Steve Mason on an odd-man rush to give the Sharks the extra point over the Flyers. The Sharks haven't lost in Philadelphia since 2000. Steve Mason played great, stopping 18 of 19 shots, along with rookie defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere. Sharks goalie Martin Jones stopped all 28 shots he faced.

The Flyers take on Ottawa next in Canada's capital Saturday night at 7 PM. (RECAP)

EAGLES NOTES: BRADFORD DOESN'T PRACTICE, PETERS DOES

QB Sam Bradford still has not been cleared from his concussion, so it looks like Mark Sanchez will get the start. RB Ryan Mathews also hasn't been cleared from his concussion. Jason Peters was a full participant at practice, according to Matt Tobin. But he was officially listed as a limited participant. We're still not sure about his status for Sunday. Connor Barwin returned to practice as a limited participant, while Josh Huff sat out due to back spasms. Expect both to play this week.

For the Bucs, Vincent Jackson and Austin Seferian-Jenkins were limited participants. (REPORT)
